Alternate Form (Su) A weretiger can assume a bipedal hybrid form or the form of a tiger.

Curse of Lycanthropy (Su) Any humanoid or giant hit by a weretiger's bite attack in animal or hybrid form must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or contract lycanthropy.

Improved Grab (Ex) To use this ability, a weretiger in tiger form must hit with a claw or bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can rake.

Pounce (Ex) If a weretiger in tiger form charges an opponent, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks.

Rake (Ex) Attack bonus +9 melee, damage 1d8+3.

Tiger Empathy (Ex) Communicate with tigers and dire tigers, and +4 racial bonus on Charisma-based checks against tigers and dire tigers.

Skills In any form, weretigers have a +4 bonus on Balance, Hide, and Move Silently checks. *In areas of tall grass or heavy undergrowth, the Hide bonus improves to +8 in the tiger form.
